Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a heterojunction AlGaAs/GaAs diode according to an embodiment of the present application, where the heterojunction AlGaAs/GaAs diode in fig. 1 includes a substrate layer, a GaAs buffer layer, a first Si-doped GaAs layer, a second Si-doped GaAs layer, a GaAs intrinsic layer, and Be or C-doped Al0.09Ga0.91An As layer and a Be or C doped GaAs layer;
a substrate layer, a GaAs buffer layer, a first Si-doped GaAs layer, a second Si-doped GaAs layer, a GaAs intrinsic layer, and Be or C-doped Al0.09Ga0.91As layer and doped Be orThe GaAs layers of C are sequentially laminated and connected.
In the embodiment of the application, the thickness of the GaAs buffer layer is 200-0.09Ga0.91The thickness of the As layer is 150-200nm, and the thickness of the GaAs layer doped with Be or C is 50-100 nm.
In the embodiment of the present application, the concentration of Si in the first Si-doped GaAs layer is 5E18cm-3Forming a highly doped N + layer, the concentration of Si in the second Si-doped GaAs layer being 3E17cm-3Forming a low doped N layer, Al doped with Be or C0.09Ga0.91The concentration of Be or C in the As layer is 5E18cm-3Forming a P + layer, wherein the concentration of Be or C in the Be or C doped GaAs layer is 3E19cm-3Forming a highly doped P layer, wherein the GaAs intrinsic layer is the heterojunction Al provided by the embodiment of the application0.09Ga0.91And the I layer of the diode with the As/GaAs PIN structure.
In the embodiment of the application, the substrate layer may be made of single crystal GaAs.

The heterojunction AlGaAs/GaAs diode provided by the embodiment of the application can not change the isolation degree under the condition of reducing the insertion loss of materials. The P + region AlGaAs has a larger forbidden band than the I region GaAs, and the energy band bends when a heterojunction is formed. When the heterojunction diode material is forward biased, the barrier for holes from the P + region to the I region will be lower than the barrier for electrons from the I region to the P + region, increasing the hole to electron injection ratio and thus its insertion loss. When the diode material is reverse biased, the conductivity of the I region and the dielectric constant of the material are not changed, and the isolation degree is the same as that of the GaAs homojunction. The thickness of the I layer simultaneously influences the forward on-resistance, the reverse equivalent capacitance and the breakdown voltage, and the thickness of the I layer with the optimized structure has smaller insertion loss and certain voltage endurance capability in application.
In the heterojunction AlGaAs/GaAs diode provided by the embodiment of the application, the optimization of the Al component and the thickness of the GaAs intrinsic layer enables the diode to further reduce the on-resistance of the material and keep the larger voltage-resisting capability, and meanwhile, the diode is doped with Be or C Al0.09Ga0.91The GaAs layer doped with Be or C at high concentration is added on the As layer, so that ohmic contact resistance can Be effectively reduced, the insertion loss of the diode is reduced, and the radio frequency performance of the diode material can Be effectively improved.
